Clubb, who plays for Super League giants Wigan Warriors, will be fighting for a place in the England squad and says Gravesend people can make all the difference.

He said: “New Zealand are currently the best team in the world but this England team can beat them.

“The support from Gravesend and Londoners could make all the difference.

“To have a full stadium will inspire the England team and I believe it could give us the edge.”

Tickets are priced from only £10 for concessions.

The three-game series against the Kiwis starts at the KC Stadium, Hull, on November 1 and concludes in Wigan two weeks later.
